Travelling to Sweden

Here you will find information about travelling to or from Sweden, including what you can bring with you.

The Swedish Police (Polisen) is responsible for controlling persons crossing a Swedish border. The Swedish Police is required to control everyone entering or leaving Sweden to and from countries which are not part of the Schengen area.

Entry and exit regulations differ depending on your citizenship, which country you travel to or from, your purpose for travelling, and the length of your stay.

The Swedish Police provides information about travelling to and from Sweden, including border control, terms for staying in Sweden, and what applies when travelling with children. 

What you can bring with you to Sweden

Swedish Customs (Tullverket) is responsible for controlling goods being imported or exported across a Swedish border. Swedish Customs’ controls are done independently from border controls done by the Swedish Police.

Depending on the goods, the rules and regulations that apply are governed by different Swedish authorities. Swedish Customs provides information about bringing goods to Sweden, including food, medicines, and animals.
